Needs a Biology Lesson – For just a couple of bucks, Swarm Survival is an easy-to-play different take on the classic Snake style of gameplay. From a top down view, the player controls a little piece of DNA (which is portrayed as this weird eyeball thing instead of a double helix) with the goal of …

Yet Another Main Character Has Amnesia But You’ll Still Want to Check It Out – Built as a remake and reimagining of the original game that came out about six years ago, Millennium Girl is basically like getting two RPGs in one. Classic Mode is a 3D remake of the original DS game and it …

New Engine. Detailed Gameplay. Lacking Features. – With a new graphics engine and years of experience, PES 2014 gets straight to the point. Instead of implementing a wealth of unlockables, modes, and even an interesting menu system and presentation, PES 2014 offers a soccer simulation that should please dedicated soccer enthusiasts but could leave new …

Welcome to the Slaughter – Even though it is a little uncomfortable to slaughter throngs on endangered animals, Outdoors Unleashed Africa 3D is a mindlessly fun on-rails light gun shooter that is easy to play and actually has quite a bit of content and replayablity.

But at least the name makes the game …

You Shall Not Pass – Holding the 3DS/DSi hardware vertically like a book, Wizard Defenders is a tower defense style game sort of similar to a real time Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes. It’s not bad for a $1.99 downloadable title but the sharp difficulty spikes and overall lacking presentation brings down the entire …

At the time, this tried-but-true phrase was probably geared towards hammers, lumber, or even hunting equipment. In modern times, however, this phrase can easily be applied to first-world problems such as …

Flat, Black and Sexy – As mouse technology has significantly increased over the last several years, mousepads have seemingly become more irrelevant as laser and optic mice can be used on any surface. Whether you are using that old wrist-resting mousepad or just a desk’s wood surface, you cannot really understand the different of using …

Adorable Visuals, Hollow Gameplay – Held sideways open book style, Cat Frenzy is a match-3 puzzler that mixes gameplay elements from Wario’s Woods, Bejeweled, and Meteos but puts the focus constantly on cuddly cute cat heads and touch screen sliding mechanics. The goal is to line up three of the same kitty faces on a …
